If you don't have a church home yet, we invite you to come worship at Yorkminster Presbyterian Church, located on Route 17 in Yorktown. The church has been a pillar of the local community for more than fifty years. We look forward to seeing you!
You can listen to one of our recent services here.
Yorkminster Presbyterian Church is home to an established preschool; exciting youth programs for middle and high school students; a music ministry that includes a bell choir and adult choir; a vibrant Presbyterian Women's organization; a Men's Breakfast group; special seasonal Bible studies and events; and a proactive church government with a vision for a bright spiritual future for our neighborhoods. When you come to worship with us, you'll find out how friendly and caring we are.
First, even though you'll see lots of cars, you'll find plenty of parking space, including specially marked handicapped spaces.
You'll be greeted at the door by friendly, helpful greeters who will quickly guide you to where you want to go.
If you have an infant through 5 year old, you'll be pleased to know that we have one of the cleanest, safest, most well-organized nurseries in our area. We do encourage parents to bring children to worship so that they may feel included in our family of faith.
No one will embarrass you at any time. You won't be asked to stand and identify yourself as a "visitor," and you won't be asked to say anything.
The Pastor will call all children (usually those in the third grade and younger) forward for a special time spent sitting on the chancel steps talking about Jesus or applying the scripture of the day to their lives.
Our worship is traditional with a relaxed feel. Each worship service is designed with a theme around which all elements of worship (music, scripture, sermon, prayers, etc.) are built. Through the course of a year we try to address the paradox of life - joy/sorrow, birth/death, success/failure, blessings/curses, health/disease.
Our worship is very easy to follow. Everyone is asked to stand or sit at the same time, so you'll never find yourself standing when everyone is sitting or sitting when everyone is standing. Also, all hymns, service music, and spoken parts are clearly marked in a bulletin, directing you where to find them.
Our facilities are clean and attractive. You'll find easy-to-follow signs outside and inside the buildings, directing you to different parts of our campus.
God bless and we hope to see you soon.
It is a joy to have so many visitors attending regularly. We receive new members frequently throughout the year, and invite you to consider joining our church family by:
Letter of Transfer from another Christian congregation;
Reaffirmation of Faith if you have been baptized but have not been active in a church in recent years, or if you feel your church would not grant a Letter of Transfer;
Profession of Faith (with Baptism) in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior if you have never made that commitment.
Please speak to one of the Pastors if you are interested.
Our current worship service times are shown on our home page.
